INTRODUCTORY  NOTE. 

THE  following  list — in  preparing  which 
the  method  adopted  by  the  late  T.  W. 
Field  in  compiling  his  valuable  "Essay. 
Towards  an  Indian  Bibliography"  has  been  fol- 
lowed— includes  all  that  could  be  found,  after 
a  lengthy  and  exhaustive  search,  that  deals 
in  any  way  with  the  life  and  adventures  of 
Boone.  The  numerous  school  and  general 
histories  of  our  country  have  not  been  in- 
cluded, because,  with  the  exception  of  Ban- 
croft, Winsor  and  Hildreth,  it  would  avail 
the  student  but  little  to  turn  to  these  for 
information.  Bancroft  may  be  considered 
to  have  made  the  only  attempt  at  research 
above  the  average.  Histories  of  the  State 
of  Kentucky  have  little  value,  as  a  rule, 
for  material  contained  in  them  usually  is 
nothing  more  or  less  than  borrowed  state- 
ments, and  even  as  such  of  little  worth.  The 
notable  exceptions  are :  Humphrey  Marshall's 
"History  of  Kentucky,"  Mann  Butler's  "His- 
tory of  the  Commonwealth  of  Kentucky," 
and  Lewis  Collins's  "Historical  Sketches  of 
Kentucky."       Of     the     more     recent     works 


INTRODUCTORY    NOTE 

Shaler's  is  probably  the  best.  Among  the 
histories  of  Tennessee  and  Missouri,  John 
Haywood's  two  works,  "Natural  and  Abo- 
riginal History  of  Tennessee"  and  "Civil  and 
Political  History  of  Tennessee,"  are  probably 
of  the  most  value,  though  published  as  early 
as  1823.  James  Phelan's  "History  of  Ten- 
nessee" ranks  with  Shaler's  on  the  adjoining 
I  State.  Paul  Allen's  "History  of  the  Expedi- 
'  tion  under  the  Command  of  Captains  Lewis 
and  Clark"  also  contain  much  information  on 
the  subject. 

The  library  of  Colonel  Reuben  T.  Durrett 
at  Louisville  contains  a  great  deal  of  valuable 
material  of  great  interest;  his  "Life  of  John 
Filson,"  (No.  1,  Filson  Club  Publications.)  and 
his  "Centenary  of  Kentucky,"  .(No.  7,  Filson 
Club  Publications,)  both  refer  indirectly  to 
Daniel  Boone,  as  does  the  paper  by  Thomas 
Speed,  "The  Wilderness  Road."  being  No.  2  of 
the  Filson  Club  Publications.  Col.  Durrett's 
collection  of  portraits  and  relics  of  Boone  is 
probably  the  most  complete  in  existence. 
Among  the  papers  of  the  late  Lyman  C. 
Draper  of  Madison,  Wis.,  is  much  valuable 
Boone  material,  chiefly  autographs,  letters 
and  documents.  These  are  now  in  possession 
of  the  Wisconsin  Historical  Society,  and  were 
eventually  to  be  published  in  a  volume  to  be 

vi 


INTRODUCTORY    NOTE 

entitled  "Border  Forays  and  Adventures." 
Henry  B.  Dawson's  paper  on  the  siege  of 
Fort  Boone,  August  8-20,  1778,  is  excellent, 
as  is  also  the  introduction  to  William  L. 
Stone's  "Life  of  Brant,"  which  touches  on  the 
border  wars.  Abiel  Holmes  in  his  "Annals 
of  America"  makes  but  one  reference  to 
Boone.  Lord  Byron  eulogizes  the  American 
pioneer  in  "Don  Juan,"  vm.,  61-65,  (1821.) 
Cooper  has  used  him  as  a  model  for  the  hero 
of  the  "Leather  Stocking  Tales,"  though  un- 
der different  conditions  and  circumstances; 
and  others,  without  change  of  name,  have 
brought  him  before  the  public. 

An  adequate  and  trustworthy  life  of  Daniel 
Boone,  however,  must  yet  be  written.  In 
spite  of  the  many  references  to  his  life  in 
books  and  periodical  literature,  and  a  few  so- 
called  biographies,  we  know  but  little  of  him 
and  his  real  life.  Active  during  that  period 
which,  historically,  was  so  vital  to  the  growth 
and  strength  of  our  country  (1735-1820,)  his 
existence  must  always  be  one  of  intense  con- 
temporary interest  both  to  the  historian  and 
the  student. 

The  few  so-called  biographies  of  Boone 
give  but  little  information  concerning  the  real 
man,  and  no  two  seem  to  agree  on  any  of 
the  vital  points  in  his  life.     According  to  the 

vii 


INTRODUCTORY    NOTE 

best  and  most  recent  authorities  Boone  was 
born  October  22,  1733,  in  that  portion  of 
Philadelphia  County,  Pa.,  that  is  now  known 
as  Berks  County.  Dr.  Peter  G.  Bertelot  had 
in  preparation  at  the  time  of  his  death,  in 
1865,  a  work  which  was  to  be  published  under 
the  title  of  "Oley  and  Vicinity,"  the  manu- 
script of  which  is  now  in  the  possession  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Historical  Society.  In  this  Dr. 
Bertelot  asserts  that  "it  is  beyond  a  doubt 
that  he  [Boone J  was  a  son  of  Berks,  born  in 
Oley  township,  and  the  house  in  which  this 
occurred  is  partly  standing  yet."  John  F. 
Watson  in  a  paper  read  before  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Historical  Society,  Tuesday,  May  17, 
1853,  made  the  same  statement. 

Boone's  migrations  extended  over  Penn- 
sylvania to  Virginia  and  West  Virginia,  in 
his  day  one  State,  thence  to  North  Carolina, 
Kentucky  and  Tennessee,  Transylvania,  or 
Watauga,  as  it  was  then  called,  Ohio  and  the 
Illinois  County,  and  at  last  to  Missouri,  where 
he  died  at  Charette  village,  September  23, 
1820,  aged  86  years,  11  months  and  4  days. 
In  1845  his  remains,  with  those  of  his  wife, 
were  removed  to  Frankfort,  Ky.,  and  on  that 
occasion,  August  20,  the  Hon.  J.  J.  Critten- 
den, delivered  a  fitting  eulogy. 

The    compiler   acknowledges    his    gratitude

Library,  for  their  valuable  and  courteous  as-

Weekly,  who  has  taken  such  a  kindly  interest

The  first  edition  of  this  pamphlet  of  which 
Field's  "Indian  bibliography"  notes  the  second. 
(Brooklyn,  1824)  and  Sabin  describes  a  third, 
(Providence,  R.  I.,  H.  Trumbull,  1824.)  The 
C.  I.  Bushnel  sale  at  Bangs',  in  1883,  catalogues 
one  with  the  date  1828,  but  this  no  doubt  wa» 
erroneous.  The  first  edition  has  been  seen  with 
I-ord  Byron's  eulogy  on  Boone  and  also  his 
"Choice  of  Life"  appended.  It  sold  at  the  Brin- 
ley  sale  for  $55.00.  Copies  of  the  Providence

According  to  Sabin  (6374,)  this  is  a  repro- 
duction of  some  anonymous  book,  with  a  new 
title-page.  As  Evans  was  the  publisher  of  Hart-

resembles  this,  it  is  probably  the  same  book.

ing  the  revolution;  annual  address  before 
the  State  Historical  Society  of  Wisconsin. 
Madison,  Atwood  &  Culver,  1871.  8°. 

The  above  contains  an  introductory  note  by  Ly- 
man C.  Draper.  It  is  an  extremely  valuable  con- 
tribution and  refers  continually  to  Daniel  Boone. 

Watson,  (Henry  C.)  Nights  in  a  block 
house;  or,  sketches  of  border  life,  embrac- 
ing adventures  among  the  Indians  .  .  .  and

other  border  heroes  of  the  west.  Phila., 
Lippincott,  Grambo  &  Co.,  1853.     8vo. 

"This  is  a  made-up  book  .  .  .  written  in  the 
form  of  a  novel,  and  possesses  some  historical 
value,  as  many  of  the  narratives  .  .  .  are  copied 
intact  from  works  of  undoubted  accuracy." —

hunters  of  the  world.  Phila.,  J.  A.  Brad-

Chapter  VI.  of  69  pages  is  devoted  to  Daniel 
Boone  and  Audubon.  This  is  one  of  the  few 
books  referred  to  by  Mr.  Justin  Winsor  in  his 
"Narrative  and  Critical  History"  as  containing 
Boone  matter.     The  work  is  of  little  value.

Daniel  Boone  was  long  a  resident  of  this  State 
and  the  writer  devotes  considerable  space  to  him. 
Although  printed  in  two  volumes  the  work  is  al- 
ways found  bpund  as  one  book.
